Maybe it's about time the media started reporting all the good he's done in his very short term as President
I've heard nothing but good since I've been here, less corruption and bureaucracy. There again good news doesn't sell papers or make for good tv
Since you have been there simon,i understand that,but please remember pinas was and maybe still is in the top four countries where journalism is or was an extremely risky profession,i dont know how much of the negative aspect they would be allowed to report,remember the pope said pinas is a democracy with limited freedom of speech.

I'm not talking about journalism, but the word on the street. Actual people I talk to on a daily basis, although I admit this is only a very small demographic

One guy wearing a mask said EXACTLY what i have said from the beginingthe biggest crims arent being touched,its small fry barrio guys,the biggest crims in the country are in the political arena and arent shot,its smoke and mirrors
There's no doubt in my mind (based on my experience living in QC) that the above statement is true.
Let's be honest the ONLY way a drug user can get money to live is by selling drugs (pusher)
Almost all users are pushers and are very very small fry. Living in poverty.
Just users trying to get enough money to buy their next fix. They believe Shabu will give them extra strength to work longer hours and work harder to put food on the table and secure their next fix.
I'm just an observer, but it seems that almost all the 'big fry' drig lords are receiving imdemnity for one reason or another.
It's not right IMHO.
I'm certainly not intent on running this country down, especially when I read what is going on in the USA and the involvement of specific US agencies in the supply of arms and support of so many organisations in genocide, mass murder and cyber-hacking.
Rant over
Your right about greasing palms, when I was living in Angeles some years ago there were 2 x guys who came out at night from jail to party.....
Thanks for your valued support, Fred. Living in the Phils as you do ... you've summed up its current political climate much better than I ever could've done!
... 'fraid efforts to give you well~deserved rep have met with the message saying I needed to "spread it around" first.
However, I'll try again whenever the opportunity arises.
Thanks Art....
Good,bad or indifferent.. I just say what I see.
Now that the drug issue is getting under control, maybe it's time to tackle the biggest killer over here, pollution.
The amount of jeepneys and trucks belching out black exhaust fumes is unbelievable, I think they're missing a trick here by not imposing fines or just taking the offending vehicles off the road.
And he should sort out the nepotism,that cronyism rubbish,and the corruption levels must be reaching critical massand sort out those manila taxi's.

That goes back to corruption Simon..Or kind of..
3 years ago I went in for a smoke emissions test with the Mrs.. They stuck the probe up the pipe and left it there for about 3/4 minutes whilst the Mrs paid at the window..(I sat in the car at all times)
They took the probe out,the Mrs got in and I asked her what the result was..She said it passed so we drove off..
About a minute later I remembered that the end of the cars exhaust was hanging off and still swinging around after I backed into a high curb 2 weeks before and just held on by a piece of wire that my BIL had fixed it with temporarily..
My point is that not one bit of smoke reached that damned probe and I passed.
500.00 smoke test fee well spent.
When they say its more fun in the R.P they aint ....... joking!!
Hahaha... got to laugh though Fred.
Agree, dont know how they get away with it. We only have a scooter to potter around the barangay, but we have to have an emission test every year when we tax the scooter. The test computer takes a date stamped photo of the engineer doing the test.

Tunes in?On largely biased media

The local biased liberal,lefty media spout all kinds of ..... since their sponsors lost the popular vote..Tunes in?On largely biased media
The world media pick up a lot of this crap and pass it on as fact... No idea what he said or didn't say because I wasn't there when he said it.. No idea if they obliterated the context of his speech or not??
If they reported accurately (which I doubt) then they may have grounds for impeachment..
They all know the process pretty well enough so GO FOR IT I say!!
As usual..Lots of worthless spiel and bile from the left...No action.
He doesnt have a very high regard for Kano's

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says most Americans are idiots
US citizen's 'should just shut up', flamboyant leader tells an audience

Philippines' independent rights watchdog says it will investigate Mr Rodrigo's claims of killing people reuters
President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has declared “for every five Americans, three are idiots".
The flamboyant leader made the comments after receiving international condemnation for his claims that he enjoyed driving around killing people during his term as mayor of Davao City.
“The problem with these white people,” Mr Duterte told an audience in mixed English and Tagalog on Thursday, “these American blockheads, is that for every five Americans, three out of five are idiots, and only two are in their right minds".
“You Americans should just shut up,” he added, according to Philippine TV outlet ABS-CBN.
The US has threatened to halt a major aid package to the country over concerns about extrajudicial killings in the leader’s war on drugs, which has left at least 6,000 dead.
In response, the leader threatened to tear up an agreement that allowed US troops to visit the Philippines.
On Thursday the Philippine independent rights watchdog said it will begin a probe into Mr Rodrigo's claims of personally killing people. It comes after the UN human rights chief called for an official investigation.
